What it is

Enzyme modified milk fat is a dairy ingredient made from butter or cream. Enzymes are used to break down or change the fat molecules, altering its flavor and texture. This process can create a more concentrated or specific butter flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use enzyme modified milk fat to enhance the buttery flavor and improve the texture of foods. It can add richness and a creamy mouthfeel. It is often found in baked goods, dairy products, and frozen meals.

Health notes

Enzyme modified milk fat is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated similar milk fat derivatives. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns.

Allergen info

Enzyme modified milk fat is derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
